Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

A 1500 W electric griddle with a 254 sq in ceramic nonstick surface, tilt-to-drain levers and folding legs that let it store in a standard 18-inch cabinet. Check the browning and stability before you buy: independent tests found it cooks less evenly than the models they ranked higher.

Strengths

  • Large 254 sq in surface fits eight slices of bacon without overlapping.
  • Legs and drip tray fold flat, so it stores in a standard 18-inch cabinet.
  • Ceramic nonstick releases food well and wipes clean.
  • Tilt-to-drain levers funnel grease off bacon and other meats.
  • PFAS-free ceramic coating without paying for a premium griddle.

Weaknesses

  • Independent tests found uneven browning: patchy searing on burgers and a cooler spot in the center.
  • The unit rocked noticeably on the test counter.
  • The grease trap is awkward to reach and drain safely, raising the risk of burns.
  • Owners report the tilt levers and handles breaking, sometimes more than once.
  • The drip tray can be brittle and fall out during use, spilling hot grease.
  • The cord is short and exits the back, which limits where you can put it.

What the tests found

Good Housekeeping lab-tested the 07073 and placed it in its also-tested tier: it liked the fold-flat storage and the large surface, but found the griddle browned worse than the models it ranked higher and did not find the Tilt-N-Fold grease-draining function especially helpful. Serious Eats found it unstable on the testing surface and said it rocked noticeably during use, that the grease trap was difficult to access and drain safely, and that burger searing came out uneven. Allrecipes noted a cooler spot in the center that made pancakes need rotating; heat was consistent enough for grilled cheese. The Spruce Eats named it its pick for small spaces and confirmed the tilt feature works for draining bacon grease.

Grease management and cleaning

The flip-down levers tilt the surface so fat runs to the slide-out drip tray, which works well for bacon and other meats. The trap itself is the weak point: reviewers found it hard to reach and drain without risk of burns, and owners report trays that are brittle or that come loose during cooking. The griddle body is fully immersible once you remove the heat control, but Presto recommends hand washing and warns against steel wool, abrasive cleaners and no-stick sprays; some owners use the top rack of a dishwasher anyway.

Repairs and upkeep

Presto covers the 07073 with a one-year limited warranty and runs a parts lookup on its site. The parts that fail are the moving ones: owners report the quarter-inch tilt lever tabs snapping, sometimes more than once, and one report describes the heat control failing to regulate temperature so the surface overheated and warped. Presto documents a drip tray assembly and instruction folder for the sibling 15-inch 07071, but it is not clear whether heat controls, folding legs and tilt levers are sold as spare parts for the 07073.

Which model this is

This page covers the Presto Tilt-n-Fold XL, stock number 07073, with the 254 sq in surface, ceramic nonstick and folding legs. Do not confuse it with the smaller 15-inch 07071, the 22-inch 07072 Slimline or the 07061 with removable handles. Presto’s own spec sheet rates it at 1500 W, though some comparison articles list 1200 W; the 19-inch name refers to the product class, not the cooking surface.

The Amazon listing is ASIN B01GD1JSOI.

Is it worth it?

The 07073 fills a narrow niche: a griddle that folds into an 18-inch cabinet and drains grease off the surface. Presto lists it at $75.99, and Best Buy and Home Depot show the same figure (2026); The Spruce Eats found it at $63 at Target during its testing. If you mainly want compact storage and easy cleanup, it is a fair buy. If browning quality and a stable, evenly heated surface matter more, Wirecutter rates the 22-inch Presto Slimline (07072) above the Tilt-N-Fold for cooking.
